The lens cap ring fell off and I purchased a replacement ring and lens cap from Canon. The flaps and springs are intact and the camera still takes great pictures. How do I put the ring and cap back on? They are also sending me dual-sided tape to secure the cap/ring. Any tips since I will not be receiving instructions with the parts. Thanks!

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).
To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see the following for further info and a simple fix that may help:
